If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't worry if you're a kleptomaniac, you can always take something for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't worry if you're a kleptomaniac, you can always take something for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only reward of virtue is virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60817]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only reward of virtue is virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lots of promises were made last year.

At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward...

The Jackdaw, knowing his own ugliness, searched through the woods and fields, and collected the feathers which had fallen from the wings of his companions, and stuck them in all parts of his body, hoping thereby to make himself the most beautiful of all. When the appointed day arrived, and the birds had assembled before Jupiter, the Jackdaw also made his appearance in his many feathered finery. But when Jupiter proposed to make him king because of the beauty of his plumage, the birds indignantly protested, and each plucked from him his own feathers, leaving the Jackdaw nothing but a Jackdaw.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can get snow blindness if you're not careful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29030]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can get snow blindness if you're not careful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Political language. . . is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Political language. . . is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our mind can hardly withstand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our mind can hardly withstand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No person can be a great leader unless he takes genuine joy in the successes of those under him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62960]]></link><description><![CDATA[No person can be a great leader unless he takes genuine joy in the successes of those under him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['That is indisputable,' was the answer, 'but in this country it is a good thing to kill an admiral from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25233]]></link><description><![CDATA['That is indisputable,' was the answer, 'but in this country it is a good thing to kill an admiral from time to time to encourage the others.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our supply of ice and water is exceeding the demand right now.
